Switchboard Upgrades in Bargara
Bundaberg's Best in Solar & Air Conditioning Systems
Designed For Modern Needs
A switchboard that’s too old or overloaded can create problems you don’t always see straight away. Tripping circuits, flickering lights and added appliances are often signs the system is struggling. That’s why we carry out switchboard upgrades that focus on safety and reliability from the moment we assess your setup.
At Pearson Electrical Solar & Air Conditioning, we replace outdated parts, add proper safety switches and make sure your Bargara home has the capacity it needs for modern living.
What we look for during an upgrade:
- Signs of stress or outdated wiring behind the panel
- Whether the board can support new appliances or solar
An upgrade isn’t just about fixing an old board — it’s about preventing problems before they become serious. Once we’ve installed the new system, you’ll have a switchboard that can handle everyday use without constant tripping or concerns about electrical safety. If you’d like your home checked, call 0474 756 492 to book an inspection.

FAQ
What signs suggest a switchboard needs upgrading?
Frequent tripping, flickering lights, hot or buzzing components and the presence of ceramic fuses are common indicators. Older boards often struggle with modern appliances. An inspection helps determine whether the board can safely support your household’s electrical load and if an upgrade is the best solution.
Does upgrading a switchboard make a home safer?
Yes. Modern switchboards include safety switches that cut power immediately when faults occur. Older boards were not designed for today’s electrical demands which increases the risk of fire or electric shock. Upgrading reduces these risks and ensures electrical protection meets current Queensland expectations for safety.
Will a new switchboard support solar or extra appliances?
A modern switchboard provides the capacity needed for new appliances and solar systems. Many older homes do not have enough available load space. Upgrading now can save time and prevent additional electrical work later when installing solar panels, air conditioners or EV chargers.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most standard upgrades take a few hours depending on wiring conditions and the age of the existing board. Power is switched off during the work but disruptions are kept minimal. Once complete, the home has improved safety and a system designed to handle modern electrical needs.
